They're relatively cheap to fix, I wouldn't be overly concerned about the internet horror stories.

No one would buy any car if it were for the internet.

Is this Mondeo's only or would it apply to something like this?

Sounds a bit hit and miss.

I'm not particularly looking to change cars and need to wait till my insurance renewal to get an extra years NCB. Churchill wanted £80p/m on that Focus

Was just interested as that is something I'd go for and don't really fancy a 1.6 petrol!

The injectors are programmed too the car. You can't just wack a new injector on. It will run like shit/not at all.

Modern diesel FTL!

Exactly. Ford... you are a bunch of c*nts WTF happened to unbolting something knackered and bolting a good one back on and it functioning?

All this shite exists purely so that greedy manufacturers can attempt to exempt their franchises from block exemption. C*unts.

As above. All the injectors have different codes. All the codes have to be put into the ecu. If not they will run like a bag of Bob. Programming them can be a cunt too, takes quite some time and getting used to

Have to look out for boring your self to death with one of the most conservative cars ever made.

Guy in the family has had two. He's a sales rep and put moon miles on both with little to no issues.
Always enjoyed driving them, very comfortable cars.

But just so utterly, utterly boring.
